Installing Python and FFMPEG on a Mac using HomeBrew

I’ve been asked a few times what’s the best way to install FFMPEG on a Mac with a decent set of libraries included. Here’s the best way I’ve found (also the most compatible way of installing Python too).

NOTE : If you already use MacPorts as your package manager, don’t use homebrew as well….things will go funny. If you don’t know what MacPorts is, then you’re unlikely to be using it, so the commands below will work fine 😉
